Now look, I’m not going to tell you that grief goes away, because it doesn’t. I can only assure you that its jagged edges transform into something softer with time and expression.

Here’s what this guided journal is: A chance for easy expression of your thoughts and feelings. A collection of prompts–questions the reader is asked to respond to, topics, even some meditations and helpful activities. Even those who don’t like to write can draw or paste mementoes or photos or even magazine photos in response to the prompts. Some people choose to make a little collage on some of the pages. Do whatever helps you let those feelings out.

The Guided Journal Through Grief is safe place to express how you feel. Say the things you might not have had a chance to say to your loved one when they were alive. Or the things about your grief you don’t want to say out loud.

And when you’re done, you’ve got a beautiful keepsake of your feelings for your loved one. You can keep it on a shelf and refer to it any time you’d like to remember your loved one in that special way. Do anything you want with it–it’s your journal and your safe place for feelings. It’s also got some ideas for little ways you can memorialize your loved one.

One of the nice things about writing with pen or pencil is that it slows down your thinking. You’ve got time to really consider how you feel and in the process, without you even noticing, healing has begun. Along with a pretty pen, the journal makes a thoughtful gift for a close friend or relative.

Grief is very hard to overcome. My dad has been gone for 10 years now and I still grieve for him. My way to cope is by remembering all our good times and how it didn’t take much to make him laugh.Tammy recently posted…A Day at the Georgia Aquarium

What a great article. Grieving is a hard thing to overcome. Time does heal some wounds, self help can help overcome it partially but you will never get rid of it. But it’s ok, this is what makes us… us.Mal @ intothecity.me recently posted…Dr. Martens Flag Store-The Coolest Shoe Shop On This Planet

This is such a great idea for those struggling with grief. I love that it is guided because it makes it easier to reflect and dig deep. So often we just have a hard time knowing where to start but with this it would be easier to explore the grief and come to terms with our feelings.

When I have had to deal with grief in my life, it has been a challenge. I wish I had a guided journal to help me with the process. I think I would have been able to cope much better.Rebecca M. recently posted…How I Wine Down, While My Family Golfs

A guided grief journal sounds like a useful tool for healing. I often journal, but I never t hought to use a guided grief journal. I lost a loved one last year and I think this journal idea would be helpful in sorting out my feelings and thoughts.Jennifer Hamra recently posted…5 Family-Friendly Detroit Weekend Events | May 19 – 21

This sounds like a wonderful tool to use while grieving. Sometimes in the situation, it is hard to see the good memories. Losing someone is never easy no matter how old they were.uprunforlife recently posted…How to Manage Losing Weight After 40

This guided journal sounds so helpful. It’s really important that we face and deal with out grief, it’s definitely part of the moving on process. Without expressing our emotions, we’re just bottling it up and that’s what leads to depression and loneliness.

This sounds like something my whole family could benefit from because we lost my niece last year. We will never know the cause because of a man who is now under sheriff in our county. Anyway this sounds like something my sister could really indeed use along with her whole family.Thanks for sharing the Guided Journal Through Grief.

this is a very thoughtful journal to help move along the grieving stages. It’s important to understand each feeling you have during this period, and for those who have a difficult time with that can benefit with this : )Eloise recently posted…Health Posts To Dust Off And Read Again! (Enjoy!)

I had a journal when I was in high-school until I got to college, but I sure never thought of a journal when I lost my first husband 11 years ago. I think it would have been a great help with my grief back then.Lynndee recently posted…“In Flanders Field” The Poppy is an Eternal Tribute
